No Signs of Aliens in the Closest 1,300 Stars, Hunt Funded by Russian Billionaire Reveals

Eternity is not unlimited time, it is not made of time - it just IS.

We have no idea how to even think or speak of God's world or worlds beyond our own.

"It just IS" is a statement of unbelievable arrogance (apologies).

If a man blind from birth cannot comprehend what it is to see, how can we comprehend anything beyond that perceived by our senses and our tiny, self-consumed minds?

Whatever eternity (i.e. God's world) is...is so incredibly beyond our capacity to imagine that all we can do is express humility at the prospects of touching just a fleeting corner of it.

[NorthMountain]

We haven’t the slightest hint of verifiable evidence that anybody else even exists at all. To say, then, that we can’t be (or are unlikely to be) “first” is unsupportable.

[sparklite2]

Eternity? Oh, pish-tosh. I experienced eternity
before I was born, and there was nothing to it.

[RoosterRedux]

I heard a person say the other day "I was a man trapped in the body of a woman."

"And then I was born..."

[sparklite2]

... and when I die, I want my epitaph
to read, “What was that all about?”

[HeadOn]

OK, you post something about God being bored and drinking coffee deciding, on a whim, to create creation sitting on His “back porch”, and you tell me I’m arrogant?

I’m not sure you understood what I was trying to say, but you summarized it well, in that we can’t understand God’s “world”. He tells us that, and I believe it.

We can, however, trust what He tells us in his Word, and that is that he is outside time, and it does not define or constrain his actions. He created it, and can deal with it as it suits Him.

[RoosterRedux]

You don’t seem to have the ability to recognize satire or accept “apologies” (as given in my post) when liberties are taken to clarify a statement.

[justa-hairyape]

False. Navy just admitted they exist. President said he is not sure. And they are communicating.

[NorthMountain]

No, the Navy did NOT “admit” that space aliens from other planets exist. The Navy sort of came out of the closet that pilots and aircrew sometimes see things that they can’t identify or explain.

[SunkenCiv]

For ground based comm they would probably be using something like a fiber network; for planet-to-craft, something like Ursula K. Le Guin's ansible.

Okay. Fine. Things are flying around at impossible speeds and maneuvers, and we all blame radar anomalies. Probably contrails....

[justa-hairyape]

Fiber network ? Seriously ? Ancient technology. And no, they are not on the planets surface. No reason to be on land exposed to micro organisms. Those be deep staters playing like aliens. If the alien says, take me to your leader, it is not from off world. Lol.

[afterhoursarmory]

We have absolutely no idea what our position is in the universe. We don’t even know where the “edge” lies. There could be life on the opposite end of our galaxy that is at the same rate of technology as our own; we won’t know for 100000 light years if they can even get a signal across and not degrade rendering it useless.
I doubt we are alone in the cosmos, the odds are not so high that this has not happened twice. They probably just look different, think different and survive differently if they have not destroyed themselves already which on this planet is looking increasingly our fate.

[Windflier]

To make a quantum entanglement transmission technology that was detectable by everyone in range (broadcast) you would have to quantum entangle every electron in (for instance) the galaxy.

You must be from the future. How else could a person be so certain of something so distant in time and space?

Greetings Exalted One! We have cookies!

Greetings Exalted One! We have cookies!

Excellent my fine minion!

I like oatmeal raisin or chocolate chip.

If they’re peanut butter it means your head!

[Svartalfiar]

Any such undertaking is limited by the methods and discoveries that humans happen to have made in the course of our own history

And time. Time is a major factor. Radio signals fade in strength proportional to how far out they go. In order for something to maybe reach us, it would have to be a crazy powerful signal, or directed into space just right to hit us years later. The time frame for us to be in the spread of the time they're transmitting the signals is crazy small, on top of the time frame for us to be listening in the correct direction..

[SunkenCiv]

Ancient technology? Yeah, so's the wheel. If it ain't broke... :^)

[HeadOn]

Hmmmm.... OK. Your apology accepted - please accept mine. I think I’m on a little different “satirical frequency” than you are. I’ll make a note of that and twist the tuning knob a little to eliminate static for future exchanges. God Bless.

[RoosterRedux]

Back at you. I didn't mean to be so abrupt.

God bless you also and have a great weekend.
